Viola Jaynes: The author of Ambivablog, Annie Gottlieb, is married to Jacques Sandelescu who is a survivor of Russian work camps and wrote of his heroic escape from it in his book "Donbas." He came to America and made a life for himself as a boxer, a jazz club owner, a bouncer, among others. He is suffering from a Parkinson's-like illness, possibly related to his boxing career, and Annie is his everyday caregiver. They live together in North Carolina, muddling along. She blogs often about his day-to-day events. He has recently made great progress in strength, movement and intellectual connection. Not long ago, he was mostly bedridden and seemingly at death's door. But this is J, after all, and he won't go easy.
